WESTERN NEBRASKA and
COLORADO FARMS
are fast increasing in value. Their 1915 yield of from 25 to 45
bushls of wheat per acre will exceed the present price of similar
and adjoining lands. Indication point to the greatest demand
for these deeded Western lands that the West has yet seen. The
incoming inquiries show already the movement to get hold of
one of these farms before it is too late; if you can buy these lands
at from $15 to $35 an acre you can make up your mind that they
will be 50 per cent higher in the near future. Dairymen are
making money. The silo has revolutionized farming on these
lands and insures a return value that has never been known. All
farm improvements on adjacent lands bear testimony to their
worth. Yuma County Colorado, last year produced $1,275,000
worth of wheat, $600,000 worth of corn and $1,280,000 worth of
stock. This was about the production of other counties where
these lands lie in Western Nebraska and Eastern Colorado.
